HC Deb 21 January 1974 vol 867 c226W
44. Mr. Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will issue a circular to all magistrates drawing their attention to the judgment of the House of Lords in Broome v. Director of Public Prosecutions, in relation to Section 134 of the Industrial Relations Act, that there is no right conferred upon pickets to stop vehicles entering premises with the intention of persuading the occupants not to work.

Mr. Carlisle

No. Magistrates' courts are accustomed to taking account of the decisions of the superior courts without the need for any special action on my right hon. Friend's part.
